Miss Asean 2014

Today I am here to blog about my 1 week trip to ChiangRai. It was an exhausting 1 week with only a few hours of sleep and 20/7 hours of rushing about. But still, it was really an exciting journey and a once in a lifetime experience.

Day 1:

Since there are 9 ASEAN countries ( Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand. Vietnam), our flight to Thailand is not the same timing. Therefore some countries reached on the first day whereas the rest on the second.

 

 

The first day was for everyone to  mingle around and to adapt. And all of us bonded so easily despite of language barriers.

All of us stayed in Amari Hotel just above the airport so that we can easily have accessed to the airport tomorrow morning for the flight to Chiangrai.

And on the first day, I didn't sleep well as I really miss home and my loved ones.

 

Day 2:

 

We took the morning flight to Chiangrai (Mae Fah Luang) and I was surprised at how we were all welcomed. All the staffs of Ms Asean & the directors were there too. It was really heart-warming.

 

 

Quickly, we were asked to change into the provided polo tee and hurried to the next destination. That's when the journey of Ms Asean started....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chiangrai provincial administrative organization -> Chiangrai United football -> Doi Tung

 

 

Our accommodation for the first few days is at A-Star Phulare Valley. I really love the ambience and the beautiful scenery. I'll recommend this Villa if you're thinking of getting away from the cities & loves the countryside.

 

Day 3:

 

 

This are monkey apples!!

Day 4-6:

 

For this few days, everyone will be rehearsing for the finals together with Ms Asean Thailand's final which happened on the 29th December. The 2 winner of Ms Asean Thailand will be participating in Ms Asean 2014 with the international contestants.
